Several gathering has happened : Tablighi Jamaat Tirupati gathering, some funeral gathering, aatunkal pongala gathering in kerala. There were even people who went out on Janta curfew which was meant to keep people at home. All of these are seriously wrong but we cant stop testing because of them.

mod ma'am sorry to interfere what's the Tirupati gathering ? any positive cases from that gathering any clusters formed from there ? looks like I missed that

Another thing I was told by my sister in Kolkata was that in hospitals there, they've been instructed not to record any cases as Covid-19, in order to keep Bengal's numbers looking low. This is what one of the doctors living in her society told her. Has anyone else noticed this?

What's with South Korea ? Anyone aware of it's area or it's population ?

Population is less that of Mumbai's
Area wise it's smaller than Telangana state

the aggressive testing was done because smaller area smaller population and they made so many test kits to test all ... Imagine the same with US or Italy or India ... in terms of area and population ... these countries shd be producing the test kits for the last 2/3 years to meet the demands of the entire population .unlike South Korea or Singapore

there was one super spreader in South Korea and the govt went all out testing n isolating and they prepared kits well in advance to meet their requirements

thanks to WHO's Dr.Tedros ... and his tweets in Jan👎🏼 most of the countries fell into a deeper pit

Get to NY, NYC is one of the biggest city with world's busiest Airport a travel hub .... there were inflow of ppl from everywhere which added to it .. there were thousands of ppl meeting and hugging Chinese and participated in Chinese new year and "Hug a Chinese" drive because they didn't want to stigmatize the Chinese ppl guess what ... the increasing numbers ... these are spreaders ..

Go to the west coast ... Washington state was first and worse hit , but then the travel ban imposed to and from from China saved the West Coast as there is a large population of Chinese population in the West which is a tech job hub .

Same with India ..we know where and how cases spiked up and spread and how clusters were created .. not saying anything further as I don't want my WL to go up..

the problem is each country is different with different area/population/culture etc and needs to be dealt differently as whatever is best for that country and leaders have to decide the best and ppl MUST follow the guidelines and not challenge those ...

just like smaller forums (less discussions and less activity, S Korea / Singapore ) are easy to moderate with NO mod or 1 mod ... while some forums, with multiple fandoms cannot be managed despite having 3 mods (US/Italy/India) .. some mods take less than a day to sort while some take 4 days .. it's all subjective with respect to countries their leaders and demographics and population (sorry mod ma'am, it's just for reference with diff countries, please feel free to delete if it's against rules )

The head of the WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has called on other countries around the world to "apply the lessons learned in [South] Korea and elsewhere" in their own battles against the coronavirus.

he shd be the last person to speak as that's not possible and logical ... on similar lines one journalist in India was marketing one Indian smaller state's model to entire India ... which again will fail as each state has diff parameters to deal with .

yes I have noticed and then the media plays PR agents of these CMs and blows their trumpets that he/she is the best CM and that's precisely what China did .. when US said it's halting funds and all other countries were cornering WHO and China ... suddenly we see this

Today one VVIP's wedding was celebrated on a big scale with 50 cars coming in and 15km from his house blocked citing that less cases are in the area.

I was not talking about NRIs but real citizens. I think change of place and food matters in getting sick. Its like getting sick due to season change. I too would get sick sometimes when season changed.

You live in Italy? Whats the situation there like how people are living there in terms of precaution or buying essentials? I hope you and your family are safe. What is the main cause of so many cases in your country and in US too? I am asking so that we people could avoid that. Some people here live in Delhi which is worst affected. I live in Kalyan in Maharashtra which is also in danger now.

@bold: it's not only the change of weather, in my family we have kids who are only half indian so...

In India I have two relatives as doctors and they too say that our immiune system is different from the indians living there itself, because the bacteria to which they are exposed it's different and also because you guys have more vaccinations than us (as per my doctor's remark).

@Bold and italic: I live in Italy, to be precise in Veneto, one of two regions more affected by Covid19.

We went under lookdown on the 9th of march, except for the grocery stores, the pharmacies, the companies that produce essential goods everything else is closed.. We are allowed to go the nearest pharmacy or for the grocery store, with self-certification in our hands. If we go around without a real need, there is a fine and report will be filled against the rule breaker. We are provided with masks by the governament. We are allowed to go out only with mask and gloves and at my place with a sanitizer gel.

Why we have so many deaths? It's not because of the healthcare system, since it's one of the best in Europe. But the main reason is that Italy is a old country, we are the second country, because the first one is Japan, with the highest average age in the world. Since Covid19 is lethal especially for older people, having so many ove '80 doesn't help much. Around mid march the people that died due to Covid19 only, were like 20 and the rest of the 4000 died, yes do to the Covid but they also had like 2 to 4 other diseases (hypertension, diabetes, heart disease etc...).

India it's a young country and PM Modi had done the lockdown on time, looking from outside I can only appreciate, here we were in delay of at least one week, yeah the lookdown should have started earlier like around 21st feb o the start of march, but I'm happy that schools, preschools and universities were stopped on the 21st.

The best way to be safe right now, is staying at home, if you need to go out, then go with a mask, if you don't have one than even a clean scarf wrapped around your face will go. Better than nothing.

I really wish, this ends soon and that India had never to face what is happening in Europe and USA, because I'm aware of the healthcare system's condition there. Truely Dil se dua hai, that it never reaches at the point where we are now.

Sure. Loads of politics also going on all over,.... Even in US, the politician/s keeps hidden CORONA related news secret with them,.. and do the buying and/or selling of stks first, to gain from stock markets,.... !! People sitting in Lockdown would watch movie on Netflix, what else,..? So Netflix stock has sky-rocketed,....

As per a rule of Thumb, in every city/county on a normal day, roughly 20-25 people die due to oldhood illness and some other long illness reasons, and that makes roughly 700-800 dead naturally on any normal day even before Corona came for a nation like USA,... But now, due to taking advantage from World bank / UNO / WHO show off, More hospital needs n' help, More ventilation and Beds and other Hospital related facilities gain... they all show those dead numbers , under corona, whether or not there was even a slightest sign of Corona in the case ! All cases of death goes sunder Corona listings,... as, any detailed investigation for major corpses take, easily 10-12 days for the Investigation,.. but they R' immediately add up to Corona,....

So, loads of such things going on, all around the world,....!!

I can be true, but I really wish it isn't.

Because Italy was the first state repoting Corona patients and deaths, while the other European countries were like we don't have this issue, than I ask how come in just 2 weeks France go so many positives. Few contrinues tried to hide it and maybe other are trying to do the same.

From a medical research:

8 out of 10 patients, who have been affected by the Coronavirus lose the sense of smell.

And few have a different perception of taste.

This is usefull especially for the asymptomatics.
